Using Jvm: D:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

[William Brogden]

I dont see any errors - I gather you were using the .exe installer - what was the last dialog the install wizard showed?

Can you start Tomcat using startup.bat?

Why did you pick 5.0 instead of the most current 5.5.17?

Bill

[Jenny raj]

The reason i pick 5.0 is,i just installed j2sdk 1.4 and i am not sure whether tomcat 5.5.17 is compatible with j2sdk 1.4,because somewhere i saw tomcat 5.5.17 strongly recommends java 5

The wizard did not throw any error but it does standstill when it encounters
Using Jvm: D:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

How to start Tomcat using startup.bat?

[William Brogden]

To use startup.bat:

1. open a command prompt window
2. cd to the CATALINA_HOME\bin directory (where CATALINA_HOME is the directory you installed Tomcat in)
3. execute dir to verify that startup.bat file exists in the bin directory
4. execute startup - you should see another command prompt window open with tomcat startup messages.

As I recall, the .exe installer offers a dialog to install as a service - did you ever get to that dialog?

Bill

[Jenny raj]

I installed tomcat 5.5. and i don't find startup.bat file inside bin directory,and i use tomcat5.exe to start the server,once it is done the server is up.

Is that correct?


when i installed tomcat5 ,i saw .bat files inside bin,why there is no .bat files inside bin in tomact5.5,

[William Brogden]

,why there is no .bat files inside bin in tomact5.5,

I can't imagine - they are there in my Tomcat-5.5.17/bin, but I installed from the .zip file not the .exe.

and i use tomcat5.exe to start the server,once it is done the server is up.

So are you saying that you have Tomcat running ok now?

Did the install wizard run to completion this time? If not, what was the last dialog showing?

Bill

[Jenny raj]

Hi Bill


This time when i installed tomcat5.5 it did not throw any error,

Yes,tomcat server is running and i can able to run simple jsp and html files,
but when i try to deploy a class file it won't.

i used .exe instead of zip file to install,

My bin folder includes only the following files,no more .bat files

bootstrap.jar,
commons-logging-api.jar,
tomcat5.exe,
tomcat5w.exe,
tomcat-juli.jar


here i use tomcat5.exe to start and stop the server,

I am not able to access monitor tomcat in the startup ,whenever i try to access it says
"An instance of tomcat5 application is already running"

even though there is no server running at the background

[Jenny raj]

I am sorry,

I didn't see there was a apache tomcat properties icon in the task bar,

i can start and stop the server using the buttons in general tab .

I think this resolved my monitor tomcat issue,but still i wonder there is no .bat files in the bin folder.

[Jenny raj]

Hurray!

even i can deploy simple servlet,

I beleive my issue is resolved except for those missing .bat files ;)

Thank you Bill.

[William Brogden]

Thanks for the follow-up, glad you are running now.

It looks like the .exe install just decides for you that you don't need the .bat files. I guess they are trying to make the installation simpler.

Bill
